About The Mount Newman railway, owned and operated by BHP, is a private rail network in the Pilbara region of Western Australia built to carry iron ore. I am recommending the section between the 2 ports of Port Hedland and Fincane to Walla Siding. The distance would be about 87.2km (54.1mi). There would be about 35 - 45 trains per day. Trains would be up to 2.8km (1.7mi) in length, weighing up to 4300 metric tons. Oversized trains still sometimes ran but were getting rare these would be up to 3.2km (2.0mi) in length.

This Aussie route would be awesome with heavy ore trains, big diesels, and a new country. We should get the world's longest freight train world record scenario with this route where players could recreate that crazy long ore train. We do need more international routes and trains. I'll say it again; the game series is called Train Sim World.
Nice shout! I had a cousin (sadly now deceased) who worked for the mining company as a sparkie for a few years. It would truly be something different in the game.
